Privacy

What we collect

• The split: the restaurant name, the items and prices, tax and tip, and the table size.
• Names: the first name the organizer enters, and the name each guest types when they join.
• Payment handles the organizer chooses to add: Venmo, Cash App, PayPal.me, or an email or phone number for Zelle.
• Who claimed what, how many people each guest is paying for, and payments marked as sent or received.
• Receipt photos, when you scan one (see below).
• A notification token from the organizer's phone, if they allow notifications in the app, so we can tell them when someone says they paid.

We never handle money. Payment buttons open Venmo, Cash App or PayPal with the amount filled in, and the payment happens in that app. We don't see it or any account details.

Receipt photos

To read a receipt, the photo is sent to Anthropic, whose Claude model turns it into a list of items and prices. Under Anthropic's commercial terms the photo isn't used to train its models. The items it reads are saved with the split.

While MintyTab is in testing, we also keep the photo itself so we can check how accurately receipts are read and improve it. When testing ends we stop keeping photos, and the ones we kept are deleted within 30 days.

Who can see a split

Anyone with a split's link can see the restaurant, items, prices, the names of the people on it, what they claimed, and the organizer's payment handles. Links are random codes that are hard to guess, but they can be forwarded, so share them with the people at the table.

Only the organizer's phone or browser can confirm payments, change items for other people, or remove someone. That access is a key saved on that device.

While MintyTab is in testing, we can also look at splits, along with a log of the changes made to them and when, to find and fix problems. That log is never shown to the people on the split, and it's deleted with the split.

What stays on your device

Your browser or phone remembers your recent splits, your name and payment handles for next time, and the keys that show which splits you organized or joined. In the app the keys are kept in the phone's secure keychain. Clearing your browser data or deleting the app removes them.

Who we share it with

We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't share it for advertising. We use a few services to run MintyTab:

• Anthropic, to read receipt photos.
• Railway, which hosts our servers and stores splits. Like most hosts it keeps standard request logs, which include IP addresses.
• Expo and Apple, to deliver notifications and app updates to the organizer's phone.

We may also share information if the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Splits are deleted automatically 30 days after they're created, along with everything on them: names, items, payment handles and payments. Each split shows the date it will be deleted. To have one deleted sooner, email us. The organizer can also remove a guest from a split at any time.

When a split is deleted we keep a few anonymous numbers from it, such as how many people paid and how long it took, to see how well MintyTab works. They don't include names, items, the restaurant or the link.

Children

MintyTab isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
